It is with great disappointment that I am announcing the cancellation of the in-person conference scheduled for Aug 12-14 August 2021 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
After much discussion with the Conference Committee and the GSHA board, because of the uncertainty of the Covid 19 pandemic and the vaccination rates, we would be pushing too close to conference dates.
It has always been the top priority of the GSHA board and Conference Committee, that the welfare and safety of our members would take precedence over any in-person gatherings. Though we were hopeful, being half full glass people, we felt it was better to be safe than sorry.
Good news, the Utah chapter has agreed to hold the 2022 GSHA Annual meeting and Conference, with full day slates. We Thank them and look forward to 2022.
Last night I met with GSHA executive board and chapter rep's and agreed to hold a virtual Annual meeting and Conference, on August 13th and 14th 2021.
We have agreed on a format for the days, and I will be holding a GSHA Conference Committee meeting next week to work out the details. This conference committee will be the GSHA board, chapter rep's and committee chairs and we will reach out to the membership where we may need help.
We Thank you for your patience and time, I know many may be disappointed, but this pandemic will be over and we will see each other in-person in 2022. We will keep you informed of details of the virtual conference.

GSHA President
GSHA Board and Chapter representatives
